Fabulous portrait of Early Man the Cave Dweller. Lighting is fantastic and I have to say the model is very daring to step into this role for the camera:-). Kudos for showcasing something different. I like the expression and the pose - makes me think that he stepped outside the cave to investigate a strange noise 'outside his door'.

At a loss at why the title is relates to being/or going to be punished for wrongdoing when this doggie is getting much attention and reward of ice cream. What a much loved (and spoiled:-) ) pooch:-) They do love ice cream do they not:-) They sit and power beg with big soulful eyes....speaking of eyes, would have loved to have seen the eyes on the dog. I think it would add visual interest and more expression in this pet and their people portrait:-)

Evening train

What great lighting! It illuminates the two train riders just enough for us to see the silhouette shape of the ladies. One is absorbed in her electric device while the other is reaching for something (purse - seatbelt...?) Great B&W tones that, to me capture, the evening mood of the commute home after a long days work.

Just love how the pinks, white, and yellows of the flowers really pop off the bokeh greens. The colors are bright and cheery which adds to the visual appeal. Nice sharp detail on the bee that is resting on the one flower.

Love the processing which makes this look like an old style retro photograph capturing a moment in time that happened decades ago. Happy memories - heh, yup I used to swing so high and then leap off the swing as a kid too. Great action shot of all three girls in the state of leaping off. Great expressions on the faces too, ranging from intense concentration to pure joy.

Love the deep rich blues that capture the magic and mood of nighttime. Love the starry sky above with some shooting stars that add to the scene.

Great action shot of this horse race! Love the details and the action where the mud is being splashed up as the horses thunder across the wet 'track'. I like the long view but wonder if a closer to the action shot would perhaps be even better. My eye is naturally drawn to the three horses on the left leading the charge - a closer view would show even greater detail on the horses, riders, and the spray of mud being kicked up.

Great B&W tones on this photo of the hyena. Love the catchlights in the eyes and great details seen on the fur coat - even the muzzle and his nose are in sharp detail. Nicely captured.

Love the color and the light which helps project a soft and delicate mood - perfect pairing with the dainty butterfly and flower. And what lovely and gorgeous details you have captured with the butterfly stopping to take a sip from the flower. Well done.

Who, me?

Great lighting and detail on this portrait shot. O.K. does the title "Who, me?" a play on Who Am I? that is being asked to the audience? If so, he bears a striking resemblance to Josh Hutcherson.
